Today my team and I practiced camera movements. It was a way to further our knowledge on the world of photography/ camera work. This practice helps me understands the need of this skill, and the overall meaning of the shots. In the practice I thought of incorporating the shots we practice in our film, due to the fact of giving the film deeper meaning/message through the shots. Since the film my team and I are making is a psychological thriller, having shots that portray aspects of the genre enhances the film. So, these are the shots my group and I did, as practice for our film.
